Ch10:Properties of Gasess Flashcards
Gas
is a substance that has no well defined boundaries but diffuses rapidly to fill any container in which it is placed
standard pressure
100kPa
Boyles Law
states that at constant temperature the volume of a fixed mass of a gas is inversely proportional to its pressure
Charles Law
states that at constant pressure the volume of a fixed mass of gas is directly proportional to its temperature measured on the Kelvin scale.
Gay-Lussac’s Law of Combining Volumes
states that in a reaction between gases, the volumes of the reacting gases and the volumes of any gaseous products are in the ratio of small whole numbers provided the volumes are measured at the same pressure and temperature
Avogadro’s Law
states that equal volumes of gases contain equal numbers of molecules under the same conditions of temperature and pressure.
Assumption of the kinetic theory of gases
They have no attractive or repulsive forces
The molecules are negligible compared with space they occupy
Gases are made up of particles that are constantly colliding
Limitation to Kinetic Theory
Real gases have attractive or repulsive forces
They are not negligible
ideal gas
is one that perfectly obeys the assumptions of the kinetic theory of gases under conditions of temperature and pressure
Real gases
have forces of attraction and repulsion do exist between the molecules and the volume of the molecules is not negligible.
Volatile liquid
Is one with a low boiling point
